Twinkies & Root Beer

 

 

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Root Beer and he started his journey.

         

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an elderly man. The man was sitting in the park just feeding some pigeons. 

The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie.

 

The man gratefully accepted it and smiled at boy. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer.

Again, the man smiled at him. The boy was delighted ! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the man, and gave him a hug. The man gave him his biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy ?

 

" He replied, " I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, " You know what ? God's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen ! "

 

Meanwhile, the elderly man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked," Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"

He replied, " I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added," You know, he's much younger than I expected."

 

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

MY SPACE:

Yes. We can not act as we acted in our 

childhood. 

When we celebrate a birth day, that means, 

we are becoming matured.

 So, we have to develop the qualities of 

patience, forgiveness,analytical thinking, 

being an example to others, etc.

Because, if a child commits mistakes, the 

world will not take it offensive. 

But, if we do, it redefines our character.

So, we must be very careful in our actions. 

Better speak less and do good to others. 

It is  safe for you.

SMILE WITH
RAMNATH

Life is wonderful if you know how to live

Life is wonderful if you know how to live

 

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. 
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

 

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?"

 

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way." 

What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."

 

Do you think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing? 

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

 

Moral of the Story:

 

Thank God for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite the people towards good with wisdom. 

Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. 

When Life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. 

Face your past without regret. 

Handle your present with confidence. 

Prepare for the future without fear. 

Keep the faith and drop the fear. 

Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.

Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.

Life is wonderful if you know how to live. 
   
Each day is as special as you want it to be.........

MAKE IT GREAT
